So how did we get it so wrong with Baker Mayfield?!? Coaching / Roster / Culture / Tepper?

Baker is a decent QB who can’t overcome a bad team, we were a bad team 2022 , we were even worst this past season. Very few QBs would be successful on this god awful roster and coaching staff 

He couldn't overcome his desire to leave for a better organization. He never wanted to be here, didn't want to stay here, but I'm glad he's finding success after bouncing around the league.

Baker has much better weapons than we do. We had DJ, CMC for half the year, and a bunch of JAGs last year.

We also shouldn't forget that McDooDoo's playcalling was atrocious until maybe the last 5 games of the year.

Personally, I thought both Baker and Sammy Boy were solid QBs - they are game managers that can get the ball to good skill position players. Not sure if Baker just didn't care to be with us or what, but I personally thought Darnold was good for us last year overall

Does this mean that maybe just maybe Bryce isn’t trash but it’s the overall team and coaching on offense that is trash?  That CJ stroud wouldn’t be rookie of year on this team/coaching?

The difference is even if CJ Stroud were "bad" for us, he would still make those wow throws that would make you realize he is legit and the future. How many has Bryce had the entire season... like 3???

Lets call a spade a spade - Bryce is a fringe NFL QB starter that is stuck on a team void of offensive talent. Both can be possible and sadly is the case.

Nah, Bryce is trash. Good quarterbacks elevate those around him. Bryce has until the end of next season to show he's worth keeping. If not, cut bait.

Did he get a better offer?

Or was he cut?

Baker was also pretty good filling in for Stafford in LA.

And Darnold has looked pretty good in spot duty in SF.

It’s like all of our recent players and coordinators who looked bad here then thrive elsewhere.  It really is painful to watch.

We traded for a guy we knew the OC wasn't a fan of. Not that it was personal but their styles didn't mix.

 

And it seemed like he came in late, as an afterthought but not that because it illustrated how unenthusiastic Rhule or whoever was over what they already had done at the position.

You could just tell it was someone panicking behind the scenes, hint hint, about the QB position. Which has been the norm for 4 years at least, I lose track.

On our team Baker looked like he forgot how to play and would never play again. He could barely complete a pass at times.

There are a lot of issues, but our team culture is trash. Players just don’t want to work/play hard.

Cam said as much when he left.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
